The UAE’s premier women-only trail race, Women’s Epic Arabia, makes its much-anticipated return this November 1, with strong backing from the Dubai Sports Council and a renewed focus on empowering women through sport.
Hosted at the scenic Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts, this unique event is part of a global movement that began in the rugged mountains of Utah. Now firmly rooted in the Emirates, Women’s Epic Arabia encourages women across the region to step outside their comfort zones and onto the trail—many for the first time.
Event Marketing representative for Women’s Epic Arabia, Hannah Hall said:
“Too many women have never had the opportunity to experience what happens when you leave your comfort zone, dig deep and cross that finish line. We’re determined to empower women in the UAE to take their first step onto the trail and recognise their own strength.”
Created for Women, By Women
The race celebrates strength, self-discovery, and community. Designed exclusively for women, the event offers multiple distances to cater to all levels: from an inviting 1km starter course to the more adventurous 5km and 10km challenges. A more ambitious 20km route is already in the pipeline for future editions.
At the heart of the experience is the Women’s Epic Bell—a symbolic touchpoint each kilometre that runners ring, marking their progress with pride.
With entries filling fast, organisers expect a vibrant turnout and a memorable experience for all involved.
Looking ahead, Women’s Epic Arabia plans to expand with new races and locations, bringing fresh trail challenges to more women across the UAE.
